Dear Shaded Viewers,

Barneys New York announced today that Simon Doonan has been appointed to the new role of Creative Ambassador-at-Large effective immediately. Mr. Doonan will continue to contribute to special window projects and special events with customers and media and otherwise will serve as a roving ambassador with links to all creative and communication aeas including social media. Simon has been with Barneys for close to 25 years. 

Effective January 17th Dennis Freedman will join the company as Creative Director. Mr. Freedman will be responsible for the overall creative direction of Barneys New York. Mr. Freedman spent nearly 20 years as the founding Creative Director at W magazine.

With all the other changes at Barneys of late, I have to say, I was expecting this one.
